http://www.mediaite.com/online/is-this-connecticut-school-shooter-ryan-lanzas-facebook/The Connecticut school shooter has been identified as Ryan Lanza, 24. Earlier, Mediaite and several other media outlets asked whether this Facebook page belonged to the Connecticut shooter. The similarities were striking: Lanza lists his residence in New Jersey, where a parent was apparently found dead on Friday morning. His picture was shared on Facebook over 1,000 times in less than one minute. A Ryan Lanza is implicated in the shooting death of more than 20 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut where this Ryan Lanza lists as his place of birth.
It turns out that this is not THE Ryan Lanza, as the owner of this Facebook account has repeatedly and angrily insisted he is not the guy.

It's from the original source, as is his FB page.
